HMU Tie Me Down - All About Butts: A Rope Suspension Class

This Hit Me Up event is open to the public, 21+.

In this class we’ll learn how to make butts look good and feel good in rope in static partial or full suspension. We’ll learn (at least) two shapes that accentuate our bottom’s backsides, time allowing. Adjacent to Syd's most popular offering "Very Hot Partials", this class is it's booty-focused suspension-level equivalent.Each exercise will be thoroughly demonstrated, followed by ample time to recreate and play in the shape in a supervised environment. Exercises will vary in shape, intensity, and level of difficulty. Students are encouraged to adapt each tie to their needs and preferences and use each shape's practice time for their own play and exploration.

About Your Instructor

In March of 2018 Sydona found her way into the NYC kink scene and never looked back. Since then, she's immersed herself into honing her rope practice, perhaps obsessively. She currently works full time as a nightlife performer, bondage artist, photographer, creator, and facilitator. In these past several years she's traveled both within the U.S. and internationally for rope opportunities, as a performer, as a student, and more recently as an educator. Previous to 2020, Syd trained and worked as a professional modern and contemporary dancer, a background she takes great pride in. With over thirteen years of experience as a movement artist, next to seven years of dedicated Shibari education, Sydona brings a unique, fluid, and delightfully sadistic perspective to this form.
